YPO are looking for Suppliers to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement following a Competitive Tendering Procedure for the supply of Glue Sticks for use primarily in the education market and local authority sectors. This Framework is designed to meet the needs of YPO by establishing an agreement for Suppliers to deliver stock into YPO's distribution centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

YPO is inviting tenders for the provision, long‑term hire, short‑term hire, management, and full service support of a modern Material Handling Equipment (MHE) fleet for its main distribution site and secondary warehouse. The contract will replace the existing fleet with safer, more efficient, and energy‑saving equipment aligned with YPO's sustainability objectives. The Contract will be divided into two Lots, with one Supplier appointed to each. Lot 1 covers the warehouse fleet, comprising 9 Reach Trucks, 3 Counterbalance Trucks, 8 LLOPs, and 12 PPTs. Lot 2 covers vehicle‑mounted delivery equipment, consisting of 4 PPT units. The successful Supplier(s) will be responsible for the supply, hire, and ongoing management of a fully supported MHE fleet. This contract includes the provision of all required equipment, servicing, parts, labour, technical support, compliance certification, and associated systems necessary to ensure the fleet operates safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to YPO's operations. For Lot 1, the contract requires a real‑time fleet management system that provides live performance data, event alerts, and automated reporting to support maintenance planning and fault diagnosis. The system must offer full fleet visibility to enable proactive maintenance, minimise downtime, and improve operational efficiency. YPO expects the appointed Supplier(s) to deliver: • Reduced equipment downtime and optimised maintenance costs • Improved safety standards and operational compliance • Greater operational resilience, including support for seasonal and peak demand • Adoption of modern, energy‑efficient battery and charging technologies • Future ready, scalable solutions capable of supporting automation and evolving warehouse technologies Contract Term: • Lot 1: Initial term of 7 years • Lot 2: Initial term of 3 years

Under the Procurement Act 2023, YPO are looking to establish a compliant route to market for public sector organisations specifically for Early Years establishments requiring Trikes, Scooters and Ride-ons. This framework will be for direct delivery from the supplier to our customer base. The aim of this framework is to provide high quality products for the Nursery and Early Years market, including primary schools, nurseries, playgroups and childminders.

YPO and its Collaborative Partners are embarking on preliminary market engagement to shape a compliant and effective route to market for the procurement of Utilities Framework Agreement for the supply of Water, Wastewater, and Ancillary Services across all public sector bodies, in alignment with the Procurement Act 2023. This initiative represents the third evolution of the framework, building on the foundations of previous iterations established under the now superseded Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The objective is clear: to deliver a streamlined solution that ensures public sector organisations have access to a high-quality, reliable water retailer. By engaging early with the market, YPO and its Collaborative Partners seeks to foster innovation, encourage competition, and secure best value, while maintaining full compliance with the latest legislative requirements. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape a solution that not only complies the legislative framework for public sector procurement but also drives sustainability, efficiency, and excellence in service delivery for the public sector.
